FAQ
DETENTION ONLY RELEASE: Inmates on whom criminal charges are not. filed within 48 hours of arrest shall have open charges dispositioned as a "Detention. Only." ( Refer to Penal Code Sections 825 and 851.6) Staff shall issue detention certificates to inmates whose release dispositions are "Detention Only".
Penal Code 849 documents an arrest as a detention-only under specific circumstances–this negates the arrest entirely for purposes of your criminal record.
Detainment and arrest are connected but are different. A detainment may not result in criminal charges, whereas an arrest will. You may be detained because an officer suspects that you know about a crime or that you were connected to a crime, and their suspicion is reasonable and valid.

In criminal law, to detain an individual is to hold them in custody, normally for a temporary period of time.
Most states allow prosecutors up to 72 hours after an arrest to file charges, although some states, like California, allow only 48 hours. If the prosecutor fails to bring charges within this time limit, the court has to release you. Failure to do that is a violation of your rights.
If the court orders detention, the detention may be in juvenile hall or other suitable place determined by the court. The detention cannot exceed 15 court days. The court must also order Probation to provide services as soon as possible to enable the minor to return home.
The process of obtaining an arrest warrant begins when law enforcement officers or prosecutors present evidence to a judge demonstrating probable cause that a person has committed a crime. To issue an arrest warrant, the judge must be convinced that there is sufficient evidence to justify the arrest.
Arrests require a higher legal standard than detentions. For an arrest, law enforcement must have reasonable and probable grounds or a warrant. Detention only requires reasonable suspicion.
More info
Illegal detention means police hold you without a good reason. In California, the law is strict.If you had an arrest that did not result in a conviction, you may be able to seal your case under Penal Code section 851.91. The district attorney will then file a Petition, usually within 2 days after the arrest. If you have been arrested and no charges are filed against you, the arresting agency must reduce your arrest to a detention and send you documentation of such. No, a detention is not an arrest. If you were held in detention and then released, you should not expect charges to be filed. The limit is attuned to the type and progress of the investigation. 15–20 minutes on a traffic stop for a minor traffic violation. A Certificate of Detention (Penal Code Section 851.6) may be the best and fastest remedy to "clean up" your arrest record.
